Blog Due April 9, 2018


TITLE:  Ending on a Positive Note!


The end of the school year is approaching.  It is easy to get lathargic and just coast through the end of the year.  Some of you have senioritis set in.  Others have had junioritis set in. 

Think about what you want to accoomplish in the next six weeks.  Record those goals on your blog.  Make sure the goal meets the following SMART requirements:



  • S = Specific
  • M = Measureable
  • A = Attainable or Achievable
  • R = Realistic or Relevant
  • T = Time specific


Write goals to meet each of the 4 points below:
2 = Two things I'd like to learn before the end of the year
0 = Something I would like to avoid doing or remove from my daily behavior
1 = One thing I could do to make my life easier, yet productive
8 = Eight ways I have been kind or will show kindness to others by the end of the year (specific)

Remember the following blog rules:
  • Include a renamed link to reference blog post.
  • Include 2 additional media sources (1 pic or image, 1 link, 1 embedded video, or 1 of other sources, no duplications of the same type of source)
  • Create an interesting layout and format (avoid one big black and white text blob)
  • Check writing conventions (spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and composition)
  • Be sure to PUBLISH your blog
